This did happen to me in my online CFM league pre-patch too so it's nothing too unusual. In week 1 I had about 13 players get a single drive goal +1, but no more than that (although some got more for good stats and completing weekly's) One thing I'm looking out for is multiple "Drive Goal +1's" on a single player - there's the possibility that was a bug and my be fixed. Maybe the intention of the system was to only give a player +1 confidence max per game for completing a drive goal. If that's a case it would still be an advantage over CPU teams, but not necessarily an overbearing one. Need more games to get a clearer picture, but just wanted to give an update.

After week 1, all my dynamic drive goals just had XP boosts no confidence boosts. I'm assuming it's just coincidence and I just didn't achieve the drive goals that would boost confidence.

So what's everyone's thoughts post patch?

Some things fixed but other major issues still in game

Starting to think I should go down to rookie to really test out the drive goal thing...lol! I'm 0-3 and currently getting blasted by the Saints.

Anyway, my team-wide confidence still looks very reasonable, both because of only getting drive goal confidence in one game (and only one point) and because of multiple negative confidence drops due to bad performance. I'll screenshot the CFM menu depth chart when I finish this game - it does look strikingly different from pre-patch.

Was the stupid passing cam fixed in CFM? It would be stuck on in game even though it was selected off in the settings.

4 games with Drive goals on (1-3 record):





That's a small sample size, but it is encouraging - we all know what this screen looked like before. As mentioned previously, I only had one game out of these four where I got any drive goal confidence at all, and it was only 1 single point for about 13 members of my team. The rest of the confidence gains/drops have been due to good/bad performance.

I'm not sure what to think about it right now - the last game vs the Saints ended up being a pretty dominating performance (it turned sharply at halftime into a 41-31 Dallas win) - the kind that would have triggered multiple confidence boosts before. I still feel like it's an confidence extra boost the user is not getting, but it may have been lessened somewhat (or made much more difficult to get). That could fall in line with the vague "100 fixes" in the patch notes.

It probably doesn't change the fact that I'll still use the workaround for my own CFM - the concept itself is just wrong to me, even if the gain is indeed much smaller.

Has anyone in user leagues noticed differences in gameplay post patch? I've watched streams of about 5 user cfm games since the patch dropped and I can't tell if it's placebo or if there has been some tweaks here or there other than just safeties reacting to run differently

Thanks REX. Can't wait to rock this new UpDATE!!!

Just played my first game post patch and had 11 sacks on Brady and a few other times that I almost had him. Now this is not really because of the patch though. More because of my slider adjustments. I have yet to start a CFM in part because I was wanting for this patch and in part because I have yet to find good enough sliders for me. There are a few things I am still trying to find the right balance for. 1. sacks and pressure on the QB I had been lowering the slider and I find at even like 30 I get no pressure. Now this last game with all of those sacks I had CPU pass blocking at 10 and things looked really bad. I think I need to try a few games at 20-25 and see what happens.


2. Run blocking for CPU. I am finding either the CPU run blocking is to good or there is no Run blocking. The last patch I felt like improved run blocking a lot though so I think 50 for this might be fine. 3. My run blocking kind of the same has the CPU. At 50 there is no run blocking at all. Had it up to like 68 at one point but then it was a little to good. I have had it at 65 for a while and now to many games where my yards are like 2-3 per rush. I think I need to have this at like 66-67. 4. This is the final thing but tackling. At 45 not enough broken tackles. At like 40 maybe to many. Going to most likely keep this at like 40.
